The vast sea of "strange fog" slowly emerged from the boundless world behind the mountain and gradually filled everyone's vision.
The rolling towering peaks looked like small mounds under the "strange fog" and suddenly seemed much smaller.
Gazing at the thick gray smoke, separated by hundreds of feet from the crowd, the soul felt as if it was suffocating.
It seems that, under the spread of the "strange fog", all living beings and things will eventually die out and become dead.
The "strange fog" is still slowly approaching.
Pang Jian's pupils dilated slightly, and he stared at it intently, looking at this great horror that terrified everyone.
"Pang Jian, I am willing to accompany you into the strange fog. If you and I can come out alive, can you promise me one thing?"
At this moment, Luo Hongyan suddenly looked directly at the boy's sharp face, seemingly unaware that Zhou Qingchen and the others were also there, and shouted softly: "The strange fog is terrifying, I dare to take a desperate gamble with you, as long as you promise me one thing!"
When she said this, Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping could not help but stare at her in a daze.
Su Meng even covered her mouth and exclaimed, with a dazzling light in her bright little eyes.
Recently, she followed Luo Hongyan to pick herbs, and realized that Luo Hongyan's vision and knowledge of herbs had reached an extremely high level, which no one in the Fourth Realm could compare to.
In addition to medicinal herbs, she, "Sister Ning", had an amazing comprehension of spiritual cultivation techniques and unique insights into the distribution of the world above, which made her admire her very much.
This also made her secretly feel unfair for her "Sister Ning" in her heart.
Because her "Sister Ning" sincerity towards Pang Jian has never received the response and treatment she deserves.
"Need not."
Pang Jian refused coldly.
Bitterness escaped from Luo Hongyan's mouth, and she added: "I know a little about Weird Mist. No matter what you do, I can help you."
Pang Jian shook his head and said, "No need!"
"Brother Pang, Sister Ning is actually a very nice person, she..."
Su Meng yelled softly.
“Shut up!”
Luo Hongyan snorted coldly.
Su Meng lowered her head with a feeling of grievance.
Zhou Qingchen coughed twice and said, "Ning Yao, to be honest, I used to look down on you. Your cultivation talent is just average to me. You are still so arrogant and proud, which made me think you are nothing special. But this time you made me look at you in a new light!"
He praised generously: "You dare to open your heart so boldly and gamble your life to make Pang Jian agree to you..."
He gave Luo Hongyan a thumbs up.
Seeing that the "strange fog" would not arrive for a while, Han Duping patted Pang Jian on the shoulder and winked, "You are quite good. If I had your ability, I would have taken down a woman like Shangguan Qin long ago."
He really admired it.
Pang Jian, who was drunk, asked for a porcelain jar of wine and went to Tianling Pagoda, then jumped out of the window in dishevel.
He did everything he should have done to the girl while he was drunk, but she just wouldn't give him a promise.
After he sobered up, his attitude became cold again, forcing the girl into no choice but to gamble her life in front of everyone and make him make a promise.
—And he rejected it ruthlessly.
Han Duping sketched out a clear picture in his mind, defining Pang Jian as a heartless man who would not recognize anyone after taking all the food and wiping his mouth.
But the lady's attitude was not annoyed or angry at all, and she kept a humble attitude.
"You can't refuse to accept it."
Han Duping shook his head, thinking that he couldn't take advantage of his age to bully others. He should learn from Pang Jian and learn how to control women from this guy.
"The strange fog is spreading. If you don't leave, it will cover you sooner or later." Pang Jian frowned and said softly.
Knowing that the person inside Ning Yao's body was the ignorant witch, Pang Jian just hoped that she would leave as soon as possible and did not want to explore the "strange fog" with her at all.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, an extremely horrifying scene was clearly seen by everyone.
As the gray "strange fog" passed over the mountains and approached the Ulan Lake where they were, the thousand-foot-high mountains slowly collapsed like sand dunes.
There was no loud sound of collapse, but the mountains were razed to the ground, the hard rocks turned into powder, and the trees turned into sawdust.
All this happened silently.
The people on the island in the middle of the lake watched helplessly as the thousand-foot-high mountains disappeared like collapsing sand dunes.
Everyone felt a sense of creepiness!
The terrifying power of the "strange fog" was beyond their cognitive limits. They couldn't imagine what kind of power could wipe out thousands of feet high mountains so easily!
There was not even a sound!
Pang Jian's scalp also tingled, and he suddenly understood why his father did not allow him to go to the Far North and contact the "strange fog".
Compared to the horror of the "strange fog", the dangers of the Black Water Pond, the island in the middle of the lake and the Insect Valley are really just child's play.
"Pang Jian, if we're not brothers, I'm not loyal enough. If you insist on exploring the strange fog, I really can't accompany you!"
Zhou Qingchen's teeth chattered, and his legs felt a little weak. He felt that compared to Hong Tai who was facing the dark ghost, the "strange fog" was many levels more terrifying: "As brothers, I still advise you not to go deep into the strange fog, never go in!"
"I'll prepare the bamboo raft, we'll leave right away!" Han Duping didn't want to talk any more nonsense, and he didn't even want to stay in Wulan Lake. He shouted, "If the strange fog continues to spread, the Cenji Mountains and the entire Beiqi will disappear! I'm afraid that all the creatures who don't leave in time will turn into ashes!"
He narrowed his eyes into a slit and stared at the "strange fog" that seemed to be unhindered by anything and was still slowly approaching.
He wanted to see some living thing appear.
As long as there is a living creature, it means that the "strange fog" is not absolutely dead, and then he will have the confidence to explore firmly.
But no matter how he looked, his sight could not penetrate the "strange fog" and could not reach the inside of the "strange fog".
The "strange fog" eventually passed over the flattened mountains.
The mountain peaks turned into dust and seemed to disappear into the depths of the "strange fog", becoming part of the land of eternal death.
The "strange fog" continued to move slowly forward and finally came into contact with Wulan Lake.
Just at this moment!
The water of Ulan Lake turned into solid ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if extreme cold energy had penetrated into the water from the "strange fog", quickly freezing the entire Ulan Lake!
"Old Han is back!"
Zhou Qingchen's face suddenly changed color. He was frightened by the horror of the "strange fog" and screamed, "Don't touch those bamboo rafts!"
When Handuping reached the shore, he didn't have a high view and didn't know that the water of Ulan Lake was freezing.
"What's wrong?"
He asked in confusion.
“Come back soon!”
Zhou Qingchen screamed strangely.
Han Duping, who knew him too well, rarely saw him look so panicked. He immediately gave up the idea of moving the bamboo raft to the south of the island and hurried back up the mountain.
When he stood beside the crowd again and looked down at Wulan Lake from a high place, he realized why Zhou Qingchen was so nervous.
The Ulan Lake to the north of the island has frozen in a short period of time, with the ice reaching all the way to the bottom of the lake!
The bamboo raft he was planning to move was now frozen in solid ice, like a grasshopper in amber, with absolutely no possibility of movement.
If he stood on the bamboo raft and was contaminated by that unknown strange power, perhaps he would turn into an ice sculpture.
The freezing of Wulan Lake continues at a strange and rapid speed.
Pang Jian looked behind him and suddenly discovered that the lake water on the south side of the island had begun to freeze.
"It's too late."
Pang Jian frowned, feeling that if they fell onto the ice and bamboo rafts at this time, no one would be able to escape.
“Hopefully the island will remain unaffected.”
Luo Hongyan, who was rejected repeatedly, was a little annoyed by the horror of the "strange fog" and said, "If the extreme cold only penetrates the lake water, we can still hold on on the island for a while. The speed at which the strange fog spreads is actually slow, so we still have time to find a way to leave."
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the island.
"Also, not all creatures that enter the strange fog will be turned into dust in an instant like those mountains." Luo Hongyan assured everyone and said calmly: "As far as I know, only those who try to go to the source of the strange fog - the boundary wall, will be reduced to ashes by the power of the strange fog."
The "strange fog" escapes from the boundary wall. The closer to the boundary wall, the thicker the "strange fog" is, and the boundary wall surrounds all levels of heaven and earth.
According to Luo Hongyan, as long as you don't try to impact the boundary wall, you won't touch the most terrifying side of the "strange fog".
"All of you, take out the spirit stones in your hands, regardless of whether they have impurities or not."
Luo Hongyan shouted loudly. This mysterious woman from the upper world began to take the initiative: "The Heavenly Spirit Tower in the Yinling Temple is our hope to leave this island. The array at the bottom, constructed according to the original cloud and thunder pattern, was not destroyed by Pang Jian. He just used up the spiritual jade in it."
"After re-laying the spiritual stones, we may not be able to fly to the third realm, but we should be able to leave this Wulan Lake."
She took the lead and walked towards the Tianling Pagoda.
Su Meng did not hesitate, and hurriedly followed her, saying: "Sister Ning, I will help you. I still have a lot of spirit stones, but they are impure."
“Yeah, it can be used.”
"Old Han!"
Zhou Qingchen took off the silver ring from his sleeve, handed it to Han Duping, and said, "My spirit stones are all in it. Go and give it to Ning Yao, and be responsible for supervising her!"
"good!"
Han Duping took the storage bracelet from Zhou Qingchen and immediately went to the Tianling Tower without delaying for a moment.
On the top of the hill, only Zhou Qingchen and Pang Jian were left.
"Ning Yao is not that bad. You have high standards."
Zhou Qingchen, who was secretly nervous, looked at the "strange fog" slowly but steadily approaching, and deliberately used this topic to make himself look more relaxed: "Could it be that you have someone else in your heart?"
Shaking his head, Pang Jian said, "No."
While the two were talking, the entire surface and bottom of the huge Ulan Lake in the east, south, west and north were frozen into solid ice by the strange force that seeped in from the "strange fog".
The entire Ulan Lake became like a huge piece of ice crystal, shining brightly and inserted into the sunken ground.
